CAS just released its rationale for why Welteji was provisionally suspended for Worlds.
Key points:
-Refused test was on February 25, 2025
-DCO says Welteji refused to take test because it was outside her one-hour window (even though athletes can be tested at any time)
-AIU says Welteji has been tested outside her one-hour window 14 times since 2023 and was well aware of her responsibilities
-Welteji claimed she never actually refused the test and that she was only asking why she was being asked to be tested outside the window
-CAS arbitrator concluded there was a "substantial likelihood" that AIU's appeal would be successful and Welteji would ultimately be banned, so that is why she was suspended for Worlds
